Hey guys, found out my vf48 on my 08 sti is on its way out and have decided on purchasing the Td06sl2 20g with the 8cm hotside. Question is will I need to upgrade my coolant line and oil feed line to the turbo or will it mate up, or does kinagawa supply new lines?

Want to get everything before the purchase of the turbo so I won't have any downtime.

I was just looking at the hardware yesterday and the vacuum lines and fittings look better than OEM, the lines have a dual coating to resist oil and seem to be made of silicon, the hose compression fittings are the same as OEM, attention to detail on this turbos is just ridiculous, pisses me off how ignorant people are calling these turbos EBay just because they are $500+ less than a Blouch.

Right on. They are also sold here. So what the owner lists items on ebay as well.

Yup, Kinugawa makes a very nice install kit. They do not bother grinding off part numbers or painting the turbo, etc. They just stamp the turbo with the correct plate (some are ghost painted Kinugawa on the compressor housing. Sorry, did you want a crinkle red with that? Go to Home Depot and buy some high temp texture paint for $10.

Just ordered the SL2 20 G for my 08 WRX. Looks like everything will line up. I will be sure to post my dyno results on here..... I'm like a kid on christmas eve.... Cant wait for this thing to get here. I'm gona schedule my tune tomorrow!

Ok after reading and reading and searching this post im gonna pull the trigger and buy Kinugawa probaly just an 18G and get a STi TMIC. I have a 2007 WRX running AP stage 2 with Perrin Tune. Im in GA sand getting to a reasonable tuner is like pulling teeth so i may go with an E-TUNE. Till i can get time of from the army to get a protune. I think also i will purchase a 3port EBCS but of course will not install till tune time. Im figuring i cant just run a a COBB 18G MAP. So can someone point me in a direction maybe a link.

sorry for the poor photo quality. I'm certainly happy with the 349HP/349Trq figures, I do wish that it would have spooled a bit faster. Hill at Agile mentioned that I'm currently limited by my stock IC and exhaust.

I'm not exactly sure what my IDCs are at, but I wouldn't use anything less than 850cc for 20G's. I'm sure other people may disagree, but since I had to buy new injectors anyway, I figure go big or go home (within reason mind you )

spool is more or less the same, maybe a 200 rpm difference. 4th gear pull on 93oct. I was really trying to not get a 3in catback, since the cops are looking to pull me over already, but sadly I think I will have to make the jump.

Like I said, overall, very happy with the car. I still wonder if I should have gone with an 18G variant vs. a 20G variant. I really miss the peppiness of the VF39, but the top end power is awesome on my SL2-20G

A 3 port will get you better spool and better control for around $100 but you would have to retune for it again. I maxed out my id1000 and 300lph pump on the same turbo on e85 around 23psi so i would think 750cc would be cutting it close on pump gas. I will be hardwiring the pump to lower them a bit with the dw hard wire kit which is something you could do to stretch out the 7500cc a bit.

Yeah sounds like you're missing a couple parts that would really make a significant difference. Grab an EBCS and 3" catback, you should see a good bit of pickup on spool/boost control up top. I really want to know what this turbo does as I'm strongly considering picking one up to replace my og fp green.
